It's been almost 30 years since I played Bezique, I always played with my father, after that I had no one to play with and of course I forgot the rules of the game. Thanks to you, I remembered again.. Thank you. You have published this video 5 years ago, can you make a video like this but playing with the bezique marker? May be you can make the game more enjoyable for Today's young people 👍👍🌺🌺
Me to. I use to play with my father mother, grandma, aunty...40 yrs back. Can you tell me the rules how to increase the players and number of playing sets also . I've seen this video just now. We use to play with minimum 10 players to maximum of 20 players 😅. We use to have lots of fun in summer vacation. This makes us to sit at home in the afternoon and also at night after our dinner. My dad use to calculate the points with the remaining playing cards from 2 to 6. So that no paper pen required. We can play with anywhere and any number of people. Generally we use to play 6/ 8 sets of cards , dont remember. Except our patternal family no one knows this Bizique game😢. Make a detailed video🎉 please 🎉
For those of you who don't know: this basic version of Bezique is what was developed into two handed Pinochle. If you know one, you only need to learn a few rule differences to learn the other.
Thank you very much for these rules, I used to play Bésique with my great grand mother and my grand mother. Now, would like to do so, with my cousin, who also played. Only to let you know,,, we are both over 60 !. Greetings from Uruguay
Why was the first hand played with a non-laid suit, yet later, if that suit is played it must be matched? In this case, a 9 or an A was available to win the trick, yet decided to lose it with a non-matching suit.
Yes. That's actually the way to score the most points with your kings and queens in this game. So long as you're adding at least one new card to each new meld you make, you can meld cards already on the table. When a particular card being added could be used to create multiple melds, you're entitled to score whichever meld you choose.
Bezique was official Monte Carlo duel. They use to say :game of the kings is poker but king of the games is bezique I haven't play since over 27 years I still have my edwardian markers lol those players extincted I forget few rules cant recall where should I look about 4 deck version w 3 person smallest card is 9
I don't understand when you say you can still play the cards from the melds. Is that only at the very end when you put them all back into hand for last 8 tricks. Or is it at any point?
I think, it's that when you lay down the meld, you immediately score the melds points (and write the points down) and then you can further play them, because you already scored the meld @@patrickfox-roberts7528
During the final eight tricks, what if a player can follow suit against a non-trump card, but also has a trump card? Does this give the player two options (follow suit or trump)? Since the rules are to either follow suit if you can, or trump if you can, how does this work when both options are in play? Do you have to follow suit, even if it means you'll lose the trick? Or do you have to win the trick, by any means necessary (which would negate following suit in this instance). I'm used to playing euchre, so not following suit when you can is called a renege, which is illegal.
But how do you know if the opponent is playing the required suit and not holing it for a better opportunity? Or is there no such a scenario? You probably won't remember what trick you or your opponent played few turns ago.
That's also like asking "How do you know your opponent in chess won't move twice while you're not looking." Unless there's a genuine mistake or you're playing your 8-year-old cousin, you should assume your opponent isn't deliberately trying to cheat to win.
How do you get the double Bezique if you already laid down a regular Bezique? Does getting another Bezique in the cards while you have one Bezique already played count as the Double as long as you didn't discard any of the two first cards? The only other way to get it would be to have both Beziques at the very beginning of the round.
You can hold the cards from the first Bezique in your hand until have the double bezique or if your opponent reveals either of the cards you are missing. You cannot score a double bezique if you've already scored a bezique
If the lead card is a 7 of clubs and the other player places a 7 of clubs, do both players get a point ? Or am I mixing up anything from penchant with Bezique?
Say I played a 4-of-a-kind meld (4 aces) to score 100 points. Later, I play one of those four aces. Do I leave the remaining three aces face-up on the table, or do I put them back in my hand. Also, what if I pick up another ace, and eventually win another trick. Can I add that newly-acquired ace to my existing three aces to create a second 4-of-a-kind meld of aces for another 100 points?
You would leave the 3 remaining aces face-up on the table. You cannot add an ace to previously melded aces for a second 4-of-a-kind meld. You would need 4 new aces to get a second 4-of-a-kind.
Thank you for your answers. I have a couple more questions: Can I play the second half of a bezique onto an existing meld (e.g. marriage or quads)? To play a double bezique, do I have to play all four cards at once, or can I add to marriages, quads, etc.? Do you get 10 points for winning the last trick prior to the final eight, AND the last trick of the entire round? Or is it one or the other?
You can play the second half of a bezique onto an existing meld. You can add a double bezique to a marriage or quad. You only get 10 points for winning the last trick of the entire round.
Nice video. Two questions - Are the melds always kept face-up (visible to other player) for entire duration of game? If another meld is formed, are the cards in previous meld still kept face-up on the table?
It might seem bizarre if you're not familiar with such games, but card games that combine melding and trick taking are common in Europe. This particular game also forms the basis of Pinochle, once one of the most popular American card games.

Thank you so much. I have some amazing childhood memories playing Bezique with my family. Had forgotten many rules.

True, I use to have lots of fun with Grand ma and Grand pa. That time No electronic media 😂
Why was the first hand played with a non-laid suit, yet later, if that suit is played it must be matched? In this case, a 9 or an A was available to win the trick, yet decided to lose it with a non-matching suit.
Question: if I have three marriages on the table and I draw a fourth king, can I use that king with the three married kings to make a quad?
Yes. That's actually the way to score the most points with your kings and queens in this game. So long as you're adding at least one new card to each new meld you make, you can meld cards already on the table.

I forgot all the rules and points 😢
why all the extra spaces?
I don't understand when you say you can still play the cards from the melds. Is that only at the very end when you put them all back into hand for last 8 tricks. Or is it at any point?
at any point

this is great thanks, please can you point me to the link for the scoring info?
In the discripziom
So you don't have to follow suit and/or try to win the trick until the final eight tricks, correct?
That’s correct
Can you please do a video on Marjolet? It’s very similar to Bezique but you only need one of the 32 card decks to play it.
During the final eight tricks, what if a player can follow suit against a non-trump card, but also has a trump card? Does this give the player two options (follow suit or trump)? Since the rules are to either follow suit if you can, or trump if you can, how does this work when both options are in play? Do you have to follow suit, even if it means you'll lose the trick? Or do you have to win the trick, by any means necessary (which would negate following suit in this instance).

You must follow suit when possible. If you cannot follow suit, you have to trump the trick if possible.
But how do you know if the opponent is playing the required suit and not holing it for a better opportunity? Or is there no such a scenario? You probably won't remember what trick you or your opponent played few turns ago.
It would be hard to remember from what you or your opponent did a few tricks ago
That's also like asking "How do you know your opponent in chess won't move twice while you're not looking." Unless there's a genuine mistake or you're playing your 8-year-old cousin, you should assume your opponent isn't deliberately trying to cheat to win.
Can you do a video on Piquet, it inspired Bezique and is one of the oldest card games still played.

@@larssarbkkristiansen5665 ohh ok, Thanks. So you have to wait to get all 4 cards for a double bezique, and not lay down a single bezique.
If the lead card is a 7 of clubs and the other player places a 7 of clubs, do both players get a point ? Or am I mixing up anything from penchant with Bezique?
Who kept 7 of clubs first he will win

The melds are kept face-up, even when another meld is formed.
No, I think they just kept it for understanding. This game is very secretive and thrills when we play atleast with 6 people 😮
My God, no thanks
What a bizarre card game.

It takes a little while getting used to but once you do it's really fun.
WTF?
